DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An optical photographing lens assembly includes seven lens elements, which are, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, a sixth lens element and a seventh lens element.

The first lens element with positive refractive power has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for the light converging at the object side of the optical photographing lens assembly and for shortening the total track length thereof so as to obtain a compact size. The first lens element can have an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof, which is favorable for correcting astigmatism.

The third lens element has positive refractive power. Therefore, the distribution of the positive refractive power of the optical photographing lens assembly can be balanced, and the photosensitivity and spherical aberration thereof can be reduced.

The fourth lens element can have negative refractive power, which is favorable for correcting aberrations. The fourth lens element can have an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and including at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof, which is favorable for correcting aberrations of the off-axis field.

The sixth lens element can have positive refractive power, which is favorable for enhancing the light converging ability of the optical photographing lens assembly. The sixth lens element can have an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and including at least one concave shape in an off-axis region thereof, and the sixth lens element can have an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and including at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting aberrations of the off-axis field.

The seventh lens element has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and including at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting aberrations of the off-axis field. Moreover, the object-side surface of the seventh lens element can include at least two critical points (the total number of the critical points is counted between the optical axis to the maximum effective diameter position, which excludes the axial vertex on the optical axis and other critical points in a point symmetrical range thereof). Therefore, off-axis aberrations can be further corrected, and the ability of the optical photographing lens assembly for correcting aberrations in the off-axis region can be enhanced. Accordingly, the image quality in the off-axis region can be enhanced.

When a focal length of the first lens element is f1, a focal length of the second lens element is f2, a focal length of the third lens element is f3, a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, a focal length of the fifth lens element is f5, a focal length of the sixth lens element is f6, and a focal length of the seventh lens element is f7, the following conditions are satisfied: |f3/f1|≤1.0; |f3/f2|≤1.0; |f3/f4|≤1.0; |f3/f5|≤1.0; |f3/f6|≤1.0; and |f3/f7|≤1.0. Therefore, the third lens element is a positive lens element with stronger refractive power, whereby the configuration of the lens element providing the majority of positive refractive power in the optical photographing lens assembly can be shifted toward an image surface. Accordingly, the field of view can be enlarged, and the manufacturing sensitivity of the optical photographing lens assembly can be reduced so as to enhance the manufacturability. Preferably, the following conditions can be satisfied: |f3/f1|<0.75; and |f3/f6|<0.60.

When a focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, and a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the seventh lens element is R13, the following condition is satisfied: 0.20≤f/R13. Therefore, the seventh lens element can be configured with a distinct meniscus shape, which is favorable for correcting aberrations while avoiding excessive or insufficient aberration corrections. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.70<f/R13<5.0. More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.0<f/R13<4.0.

When an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, and an axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, the following condition can be satisfied: T34/T45≤8.0. Therefore, the axial distances between adjacent lens elements of the third lens element, the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element can be balanced, and excessive curvatures of the lens elements due to the excessive axial distances therebetween can be prevented. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.50<T34/T45<6.0.

When a maximum of refractive indexes of all the lens elements of the optical photographing lens assembly is Nmax, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.650≤Nmax<1.75. Therefore, materials of the lens elements are proper, which is favorable for the compactness of the optical photographing lens assembly. Accordingly, the optical photographing lens assembly is more applicable to compact electronic devices.

The optical photographing lens assembly can include two adjacent lens elements having Abbe numbers less than 30. Therefore, it is favorable for eliminating chromatic aberration.

When the focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, and the focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following condition can be satisfied: f/f3<1.0. Therefore, single lens refractive power of the lens element of the optical photographing lens assembly can be controlled, and problems, such as overcorrection or insufficient correction of the image, due to excessive differences of refractive power among the lens elements can be avoided.

When the focal length of the first lens element is f1, the focal length of the second lens element is f2, the focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, the focal length of the fifth lens element is f5, the focal length of the sixth lens element is f6, and the focal length of the seventh lens element is f7, the following conditions can be satisfied: |f7/f1|≤1.0; |f7/f2|≤1.0; |f7/f4|≤1.0; |f7/f5|≤1.0; and |f7/f6|≤1.0. Therefore, the refractive power of the seventh lens element can be enhanced, and the principal point of the optical photographing lens assembly can be shifted toward the object side, which can ensure a proper angle of light converging on the image surface.

When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image surface is TL, and a maximum image height of the optical photographing lens assembly is ImgH, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.80<TL/ImgH<1.60. Therefore, the feature of compactness of the optical photographing lens assembly can be enhanced. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.0<TL/ImgH<1.60.

When an f-number of the optical photographing lens assembly is Fno, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.0<Fno<2.0. Therefore, the optical photographing lens assembly can be featured with a large aperture, and the photographing functionality in depth of field can be improved.

When a maximum field of view of the optical photographing lens assembly is FOV, the following condition can be satisfied: 70 degrees<FOV<100 degrees. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the features of wide field of view and the telecentric effect.

When a displacement in parallel with the optical axis from an axial vertex on the image-side surface of the seventh lens element to a maximum effective radius position on the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is Sag72, and a central thickness of the seventh lens element is CT7, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.0<|Sag72|/CT7. Therefore, the effective radius of the seventh lens element can be reduced, which is favorable for reducing the physical sizes of the optical photographing lens assembly and the imaging apparatus. Furthermore, the configuration of the lens elements closer to the image surface, such as the fifth lens element through the seventh lens element, is proper for increasing the degree of freedom in designing the lens structure of the optical photographing lens assembly.

When a total number of lens elements having Abbe numbers less than 30 is V30, the following condition can be satisfied: 3≤V30. Therefore, it is favorable for eliminating chromatic aberration while maintaining high image quality with a large aperture configuration.

When a vertical distance between a non-axial critical point on the object-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is Yc61, and a vertical distance between a non-axial critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is Yc62, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.3<Yc61/Yc62<1.5. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting aberrations, enhancing the relative illuminance, and improving the image quality in the off-axis region.

When a total number of lens elements having Abbe numbers less than 20 is V20, the following condition can be satisfied: 1≤V20. Therefore, it is favorable for eliminating chromatic aberration and maintaining high image quality with a large aperture configuration.

When a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the fourth lens element is R7, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is R8, the following condition can be satisfied: 0≤R8/|R7|<1.0. Therefore, excessive curvature of the fourth lens element can be prevented so as to enhance the manufacturability and prevent the generation of stray light.

When a central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, and a central thickness of the third lens element is CT3, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.0<CT3/CT1<3.0. Therefore, it is favorable for enhancing the refractive power of the third lens element while providing a sufficient central thickness of the first lens element with improved manufacturability.

When the focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the fifth lens element is R9, and a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, the following condition can be satisfied: |f/R9|+|f/R10|<3.50. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing excessive curvature of the fifth lens element so as to enhance the manufacturability and prevent the generation of stray light.

When the focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the sixth lens element is R11, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is R12, the following condition can be satisfied: |f/R11|+|f/R12|<2.70. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing excessive curvature of the sixth lens element so as to enhance the manufacturability and prevent the generation of stray light.

When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is TD, and an entrance pupil diameter of the optical photographing lens assembly is EPD, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.8<TD/EPD<2.0. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the aperture size and the total track length of the optical photographing lens assembly to satisfy the demand for specifications with a large aperture and a short total track length.

Each of the aforementioned features of the optical photographing lens assembly can be utilized in numerous combinations, so as to achieve the corresponding functionality.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of a plastic material or a glass material. When the lens elements are made of a plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. When the lens elements are made of a glass material, the arrangement of the refractive power of the optical photographing lens assembly may be more flexible to design. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric (ASP), since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating aberrations thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the optical photographing lens assembly can also be reduced.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, when a surface of a lens element is aspheric, it indicates that the complete optical effective area or a partial of the optical effective area of the surface of the lens element can be aspheric.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of a lens element has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly unless otherwise specified, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface can be convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface can be concave in the paraxial region thereof. According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the refractive power of a lens element being positive or negative or the focal length of the lens element may refer to the refractive power or the focal length in the paraxial region of the lens element.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical photographing lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. The glare stop or the field stop is for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the image surface, depending on the corresponding image sensor, can be a planar surface or a curved surface, particularly a curved surface being concave toward the object side. According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, at least one image correcting element (such as a field flattener) can be selectively disposed between a lens element closest to the image surface and the image surface so as to correct image aberrations (such as the field curvature). Properties of the image correcting element, such as curvature, thickness, refractive index, position, surface shape (convex/concave, spherical/aspheric/diffractive/Fresnel etc.) can be adjusted according to the requirements of the imaging apparatus. In general, the image correcting element is preferably a thin plano-concave element having a concave surface facing toward the object side and is disposed close to the image surface.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the optical photographing lens assembly and the image surface to enable a telecentric effect, and thereby can improve the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the optical photographing lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, a critical point is a non-axial point of the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical photographing lens assembly can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, smart TVs, network monitoring devices, motion sensing input devices, driving recorders, rear view camera systems, wearable devices, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other electronic imaging products.

According to the present disclosure, an imaging apparatus is provided. The imaging apparatus includes the aforementioned optical photographing lens assembly according to the present disclosure and an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on or near the image surface of the aforementioned optical photographing lens assembly. With the optical photographing lens assembly having seven lens elements, the imaging functionality in an off-axis region can be enhanced, which is more apparent under the configuration of large aperture. With the third lens element having stronger positive refractive power, the lens element with significant positive refractive power of the optical photographing lens assembly can be shifted toward the image surface, so that the field of view can be enlarged, and the manufacturing sensitivity of the optical photographing lens assembly can be reduced so as to enhance the manufacturability. Preferably, the imaging apparatus can further include a barrel member, a holder member or a combination thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided, wherein the electronic device includes the aforementioned imaging apparatus. Therefore, it is favorable for enhancing the image quality. Preferably, the electronic device can further include, but not limited to, a control unit, a display, a storage unit, a random access memory unit (RAM) or a combination thereof.
